More Than Just homes4u

Published on April 18th 2006.

Food and property, property and food. Whichever clever person came up with the idea of combining the two industries under one roof needs nominating for an award. Oh, that's right - they already have been!

Homes4u is the clever, clever Manchester property company that has set itself out from the crowd by incorporating a café into its property lounge, where customers can relax with a sandwich and a coffee while they browse for a new home. Of course, homes4u’s café isn’t limited strictly to people looking for property – anybody is welcome to pop in for a bite to eat, and with their sandwiches now being nominated for a national award, any self respecting sandwich muncher in the city should get themselves down there for a lunchtime snack.

What’s more, if said sandwich muncher just can’t drag themselves away from their desk at lunch time, homes4u will bring their lunch to work for them! Their new corporate catering section, lunch4u, will deliver a variety of different lunchtime or breakfast food and drink to your place of work – ideal for keeping blood sugar levels up during that company meting. The Manchester Confidential office tried out one of lunch4u’s tasty sandwich platters last week, which included a selection of sandwiches with various tasty fillings, and a separate plate of cakes and flapjacks. Suffice to say, they didn’t last very long. About five minutes actually.

The awards that have recognised Home4u’s contribution to the world of catering are the British Sandwich Industry Awards, known as the Sammies. Manchester’s most innovative property lounge will compete against national companies such as Costa and Delifrance for the award of Coffee Bar Sandwich Retailer of the year. The awards ceremony takes place in London on 18th May, and will be judged by a nominated panel of five judges, all big players in the sandwich industry.

Since we enjoyed their sandwiches so much, the lovely people at homes4u have agreed to give Manchester Confidential readers a 10% discount on their first order from lunch4u if they quote Manchester Confidential when placing their order. And they don’t just do sandwiches. Oh no. You can have all kinds delivered straight to your office – from tropical fruit platters to cheese boards, from breakfast platters to pasta salad bowls, and you could even ‘spice up’ (sorry) your meeting with a selection of Indian snacks.

Homes4u have two branches of their unique property lounge-come- coffee lounge- come internet cafe in Manchester – one situated next to Kro 2 on Oxford Road, and for all you suburbanites, one in the heart of Withington, on Wilmslow Road.
